Rotate listing order in booths
If there is a way to change it, I haven't yet found it but I just imported 700+ listings from my ebay store and they still are not all correctly listed here for some reason but my biggest problem that I can see with the booth is the pictures are always the same items on the first page. When I was looking at the views I had I noticed they were all items on the first or second page. These should be constantly changing so that if someone comes to your booth they don't see the same listings every time they come. If they do, as it is now, unless someone is looking for a particular item and are willing to search, they are only going to see what is on the first couple of pages and nothing else unless they look in specific categories. When you consider how google works for example when you search for something, it might find 582,643 items in seconds but in most cases nobody goes past the second or third pages so the others are never even seen unless they are really searching to find a certain thing and want to put in the time to do so. It is the same here in a sense because unless you are really searching for something, you don't go past the first couple of pages but it they items rotated say by start date, if you were browsing you would see different items each time you looked at the page. It is why at car dealerships they are always moving their inventory around on the lost so someone driving by doesn't always see the same cars in the same spot all the time. Grocery stores do the same thing to a degree on all of their aisle endcaps. They do it because it works and we should be doing the same.

That's true! But I have also posted today about SEO Meta Tags. ebay was like here, your title line is I guess what gets searched. On Etsy they offer the 13 meta tags, you chose them. Annoying and time consuming, but in my store manager I can see page hits on each item! If its something sexy and I use half of my 13 tags to emphasize this, I can see I have items with 1,000 page views, next to something else with 10 views. It tells us what people are still searching on GOOGLE! I am off Etsy now, but I had 1000-1200 listings up. Booth visits or page views could be high on any of my pages, because of those SEO Meta Tags. If we could have an optional fill in the blank template to add a few extra search terms, we could creatively pull more traffic. What is interesting on Etsy was 100 sellers could be selling the same item, but because each has their own added tags of 13 words or phrases, the search results are mostly different do to search terms or phrases used. I started keeping my list prices at the bottom, but learned I could ask for more, using terms other sellers had not thought to use. As far as I can tell, GOOGLE only has our Title line to find our booth and listed items. I hated the extra effort and time adding tags, but there was a cause and effect that added sales!
